Reflexivity and Fluid Methods
11

• Donald was not able to produce an independent
  video in that Dad was there helping him. I
  suppose it helps that I was not there. He did say
  some different things on the tape. How fluid are
  these methods? How problematic is it if different
  participants do different things i.e. alone or
  not, with me doing some of the taping?

• I was actually pleased in a way that I had
  control of the camera. I was able to probe (him)
  into talking about the objects in the apartment
  and what they say about his identity, rather than
  medical routines or disability related gadgets.
  It generated lots of discussion. Should I
  consider modifying the protocol to include some
  of both? Or at least give the option to
  participants?
